Re: Naughty Journal Author Denied Plea Change
Well, I'm not totally retarded but I still don't always follow JYA that well. I'll keep trying. Did the OH guy have a lawyer? If so, did he follow the advice he was given? While I would not myself send the guy to prison for his writings however goofy or sick I may find them, a person who writes this stuff runs a serious risk of my interpreting even the slightest action on his part as intent and of getting himself gutted in the spot. The thoughts color the interpretation of the actions. Mike

Sorry, Mike, but you're way too fixated on this "thought + actions" rut you've fallen into. The guy in Ohio was not busted because of some "intent" charge, but because the possession of those writings alone. Several articles a few months back... --Tim May
